[gentoo-nfp] (Self-)Nomination for trustee

[Lars Weiler]

Hi all,

I would like to nominate myself for the board of trustees.

My preferred work-areas for the Foundation are:
- improve relations to users (especially in Europe) and to
  other groups or distributions
- preparation of presence at fairs and other events,
  creating information material, managing presentations
  about Gentoo
- spread the word about Gentoo ;-)
- when it comes to juristic questions I can help with the
  laws in the European Union
- and last but not least an official Gentoo-store, in
  cooperation with the German `Friends of Gentoo e.V.' (for
  the European community)

And now some words about myself:
- Gentoo Developer since March 2003
- project-scopes:
  - PowerPC (Strategical Manager)
  - Infrastructure (CVS Admin)
  - Documentation (German translation (resigned), PPC
    handbook)
  - Events (LinuxTag, Fosdem, IRL dev-meetings,
    User-meetings) 
  - and a lot of minor things I helped out
- founder and still a board member of the German NFP
  `Friends of Gentoo e.V.'
- board member of the German NGO for privacy, civil rights
  and hacking, `Chaos Computer Club e.V.'
- attending quite every large community- and hacker-event in
  Europe
- already well-known in the German and even the European
  community
- 26 years old
- no girlfriend (think about the time you saved!)
- university student in Mechatronics

Vote for me as a trustee from and for our largest community,
Europe, or the third-largest community, Germany! :-)

Regards, Lars
